NRL: Storm gear selling cheap

Melbourne Storm are damaged goods according to sports stores across Sydney who have begun cutting the price on Storm merchandise.

Early on Friday, rugby league goods store Peter Wynn's Score began cutting all Melbourne merchandise by 50 per cent in a reflection of just how low their stocks had sunk.

An employee at their Parramatta store said: "If it's got a Storm logo on it, it's half price."

As soon as news broke on Thursday that Melbourne had rorted the NRL salary cap by hiding A$1.7 million of player payments, some fans showed their disgust by dumping jerseys at the Storm's headquarters.

However some fans were willing to go out and purchase Melbourne's now damaged goods at bargain prices.

"It's been pretty surprising, the first six customers we had come in today actually bought some Melbourne stuff," the Peter Wynn Score employee said.

All Storm jerseys currently sold feature the logos of major sponsors ME Bank and HOSTPLUS who walked away from the club on Friday.
